## Build instructions for Linux using Docker
### Obtain your API credentials
You will require **api_id** and **api_hash** to access the Telegram API servers. To learn how to obtain them [click here][api_credentials].
### Clone source code
git clone --recursive https://github.com/telegramdesktop/tdesktop.git
### Prepare libraries
Install [poetry](https://python-poetry.org), go to the `tdesktop/Telegram/build/docker/centos_env` directory and run
poetry install
poetry run gen_dockerfile | docker buildx build -t tdesktop:centos_env -
### Building the project
Go up to the `tdesktop` directory and run (using [your **api_id** and **api_hash**](#obtain-your-api-credentials))
docker run --rm -it \
-v $PWD:/usr/src/tdesktop \
tdesktop:centos_env \
/usr/src/tdesktop/Telegram/build/docker/centos_env/build.sh \
-D TDESKTOP_API_ID=YOUR_API_ID \
-D TDESKTOP_API_HASH=YOUR_API_HASH
Or, to create a debug build, run (also using [your **api_id** and **api_hash**](#obtain-your-api-credentials))
docker run --rm -it \
-v $PWD:/usr/src/tdesktop \
-e DEBUG=1 \
tdesktop:centos_env \
/usr/src/tdesktop/Telegram/build/docker/centos_env/build.sh \
-D TDESKTOP_API_ID=YOUR_API_ID \
-D TDESKTOP_API_HASH=YOUR_API_HASH
The built files will be in the `out` directory.
